Findings and Recommendations 2 findings
F1
A review of items on the agendas and minutes verified the disparity between state law requirements and the RHNA process at HCAOG. This process dictates a two-year timeframe to allow for ample public participation. Récommendation 1: That HCAOG adhere to the two-year requirement for the development of RHNA, as required by state law. This will allow for adequate public participation. Proposed HCAOG Board Responses to F.1. and R.1: The HCAOG Board partially disagrees with the finding and will implement the

R1
That HCAOG post meeting notices and agendas beyond the current location at the offices of the Humboldt Transit Authority. Post announcements and publicize minutes in multiple ways so that the affected public is likely to be informed. Proposed HCAOG Board Responses to F.2. and R.2: The HCAOG Board agrees with the finding and will implement the recommendation. HCAOG staff currently sends meeting notices and agendas to every clerk of every local government in addition to any member of the public requesting to be added to the postal mailing list and/or email list. Staff currently only makes one follow-up call to the Humboldt Transit Authority to ensure that the notice or agenda has been posted. Staff will implement a second follow-up call to the City of Eureka where all Board meetings are held. The recommendation has not yet been implemented, but will be implemented for all meeting commencing in July 2010. Meeting minutes are referred to as Meeting Records on every agenda. Both agendas and meeting records are available on the HCAOG website and are available to any member of the public requesting a copy. HCAOG will not post or otherwise publicize the minutes in any additional manner. If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact our office. Sincerely, Marcella Clem, Interim Executive Director Humboldt County Board of Supervisors cc: [email protected]
F2
It appears from a review of the Brown Act, that one posting available to the public for 72 hours satisfies the minimum requirement; however, the location is not one the public is likely to visit.
